INDIANAPOLIS - The Pittsburgh Pirates today announced that right-handed relief pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski will begin a rehab assignment with the Indianapolis Indians as they begin a six-game road trip at Sahlen Field, home of the Buffalo Bisons. Mlodzinski is the 11th major league rehabber assigned to Indy on 12 different assignments this season, joining infielders Ji Man Choi and Ke'Bryan Hayes, southpaw pitchers Jose Hernandez and Rob Zastryzny, and right-handed pitchers Wil Crowe, Chase De Jong, Max Kranick, Dauri Moreta, Robert Stephenson and Vince Velasquez.

Mlodzinski, 24, was placed on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 12 (retro to Aug. 10) with right elbow soreness. He had his contract first selected by Pittsburgh on June 16 and made his major league debut that night at Milwaukee. In 21 games (one start) with the Pirates, he is 2-3 with a 2.28 ERA (6er/23.2ip), 21 strikeouts and .198 batting average against (17-for-86).
